Updating rosters for Xbox, need suggestions...

[KCEmployment2004]

I am updating my own rosters for the Xbox version of MVP 2005 due to my unhappiness with the 7.0 rosters (some of the ratings are very off, and the rosters are now very out of date, but it's a great starting point), and I've already corrected the team lineups based on the number of at-bats a player has in a certain spot and the most recent lineups used, and I have also corrected the pitching rotations to reflect how the rotations are ordered on ESPN. Things that I still need to do:

- Reorganize farm systems (I might not do this one really, because it's a little over my head, but I will take care of the call-ups to the majors and stuff like that. When someone gets called up to AA from A, I will not input that because it's too much work.)
- Make all of the transactions from 7/03 on. Trades, signings, things like that.
- Change the numbers of the major players traded. I don't want to bore myself to death changing the numbers of everyone traded, and I don't think many people on here that aren't Rangers fans care about what Kip Wells' new number is, etc. If you want, when I make the rosters available, you can change his number yourself. It doesn't bother me, so I won't work on it.
- Make edits to players were the ratings are far off. I'll probably lower people like Benito Santiago and J.T. Snow to 0s to reflect their status as retired players. Here are some other ones I still need to make:

Josh Beckett - Add splitter
Jon Lester - Adjust fastballs
Travis Hafner/Joe Mauer - Ratings vs. LHP
Jason Johnson - Add sinker
Alex Cora - Change secondary position to INF
Brian Anderson - Edit fielding ratings
Brandon Phillips - Edit fielding ratings

I know there are a lot, so please mention if you think I should take a look at something. I think Mark Prior and Kerry Wood still have durability ratings of 70, which is way too high. Julio Lugo is one of the best hitting SSs in the league and has 51/55 power. So, let me know what you guys think in order to improve the rosters!

I haven't given you permission to use my rosters as a base for your set

Also, if you suggest changes and give reasons for them over at www.mvpmods.com Totte is usually more than happy to include them as long as they are within reason, so just post up suggestions over there instead of posting files yourself without Totte's permission.

Oh, sorry! Want me to just send in the changes to the rosters? Hafner vs. lefties should be 81 power, 71 contact, Lugo has ratings of 63 and 67 for power (lefties 63.) Cora's was listed...I boosted the fielding ratings of Phillips and Anderson by ten points each. The durabilities of Kerry Wood, Mark Prior are 30 each, David Wells has a 50. Jon Lester's fastball velocities should be 90 and 89.

Brian Mccann should be much better. He is a better hitter than his stats.

Please send your changes in an e-mail to totte@mvpmods.com and I'll get right to it. Send them to me ASAP and I might be able to add them to the new UR 7.4 due for release tonight.
